Martin Ritt made movies about real people. "Hud" was a bastard and "Norma Rae" an unlikely heroine, but their humanity was never in question.
"Sounder" is perhaps the 'realist' of the real, as its just a simple story of sharecroppers in the South trying to live their lives.
There is not a shred of cheap sentiment, but that does not mean that its not emotionally gripping..far from it, actually. I screamed at the television at least twice (once very loudly; the lady who lives upstairs must have been so pleased) at some of the injustices on-screen. I felt that I wanted these people to have some happiness and contentment, just like all humans (well..most anyway. I have yet to see proof that Republicans are human so I don't count them).
Its strange that Ritt didn't get a Best Director Oscar nomination since it racked up noms in all major categories, and in that area no injustices were exercised. 9/10.
